Well, that's because you use trim, I suppose?
One needs to use trim all the time. As one instructor keeps telling us - Pilots shouldnt be doing anything at all, apart from chatting with the stewardesses! Keep it easy, tight controls are just a bother.
When you increase the throttle, you increase the airspeed over the wings, lifting the plane.
If you increase the attitude (Angle of attack) you increase drag, slowing the plane. But it doesnt fall out of the sky, because by increasing AofA you increase lift at the same time. Follow me?
Strictly speaking its not that black and white at all. You need to work with the controls - all the controls - all the time. Its really hard to start with. I was exhausted after my first flight of only 10 minutes. Yesterday was my 4th flight, 1:30 with steep turns and dives, and I managed to get airsick in the process
